I am pleased to announce that Eltham Redbacks Football Club has gained stage 1 accreditation with the FFV’s Football ACE program.

What is Football ACE?

The Football ACE Program is football’s state wide club development program designed by Football Federation Victoria (FFV) and supported by Sport and Recreation Victoria (SRV).

The program is aimed at:

  • Achieving Club Excellence (ACE)
  • Fostering best practise in club management and development
  • Ensuring existing and new club members receive a quality experience when they join a club
  • Providing an environment that is attractive to sponsors as well as developing a sense of community with all key stakeholders

How does Football ACE work?

Football ACE comprises five levels of improvement and achievement that clubs can strive to attain in order to fulfill their desired improvement objectives. At each level clubs are required to implement change and adopt certain FFV policies to ensure they meet the criteria required at each level.

The five levels of achievement are:

  • Level 1 – Group Stage
  • Level 2 – Second Round
  • Level 3 – Quarter Finals
  • Level 4 – Semi Finals
  • Level 5 – Final
